I have been printing subtractive monotypes for the last few months. This is a process where I ink a plexi- plate with ink and draw out (remove) the ink using q-tips, sponges, drawing tools etc. This is a portrait of my goofy, loving dog, Dr. Lucy, a Tibetan Mastiff/Husky/Border Collie mutt.

These are three of my Sedona prints. The middle is printed with etching ink only and the others have ink with a watercolor washes added afterwards. I find that printmaking paper holds up very well to multiple washed of color.

I love both etching and watercolor so lately, I have been combining them. This is a drawing that I did of a California red octopus on display at the Hatfield Marine Research Center, in Newport Oregon. The octopus was plastered to the side of the tank. I transferred the drawing to a copper plate, etched it and applied a spray paint aquatint to give it the sandy background.
